I do use vi exclusively from the *nix command line and the vim graphical editor is also a good choice (I still prefer TextPad on a M$ box) in the GUI environment. I am told, by reliable sources, that Crimson Editor is pretty popular, so it must have something going for it. just my 2¢ -- Steve Lindemann __ Network Administrator //\\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Marmot Library Network, Inc. \\// against HTML/RTF email, url: http://www.marmot.org //\\ vCards & M$ attachments email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: +1.970.242.3331 ext 16 fax: +1.970.245.7854

This is a build of the VIM editor for Windows that has been configured to be more user friendly. It has the same insert-mode interface as other Windows editors, so it can be used by anyone, but it has all of the power and configuration of VIM available when you need something different. http://cream.sourceforge.net/ -- Bowie

This is >not meant for users like me I guess... Apologies for unhelpful replies, I work with my linux servers locally which makes life a lot easier. It might be worth installing Cygwin or, if you have a spare machine, sticking linux on it so you can work and test on that. Good luck with your remote host. Kind regards Nigel

I generally have to use Wordpad with cf files supplied by others because they use unix line feeds instead of dos/windows ones. Notepad reads the entire file as one line when the line feeds aren't right. Wordpad splits the lines properly. Bret

I think that an issue with MS Notepad (I take it that's what you're refering to) is that it writes files in unicode format, which might cause problems. Try a text editor like Textpad. I think your results might be better. Oh, and no quotes. Dimitri -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

To create a cf file: notepad and "youfile.cf" enough?
Is it enough to create a cf file using notepad and save the file like "yourfile.cf" (with quotes) I notice that files that I make that way have the wordpad icon, but the original cf files I have in my ftp, has no icon. So perhaps that's not the way... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/To-create-a-cf-file%3A-notepad-and-%22youfile.cf%22-enough--tf3157116.html#a8755442 Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
